Recipe Comments & Reviews

I added 3/4 cup of chopped pecans to the dough. Did NOT roll in colored sugar, rather after rolling into balls, I flattened them slightly with a glass dipped on white sugar. Awesome!

I used to have this recipe from Land O Lakes that also included the recipe for a Browned Butter Frosting (browned butter, conf sugar, vanilla, corn syrup and water) and had lost it. Now with this recipe and my memory of the frosting, I have my kids favorite cookie back! My kids love the White Velvet Cut Outs cookie recipe for Christmas but after having these they say these are the best! The frosting is a must for that cut out cookie flavor!

My husband has high sugar. I have tried numerous recipes subsituting a sweetner for the sugar. These where awsome. They reminded me of the good old christmas sugar cookies my mom used to make. (even with the sugar subsitute). Will make these again. PS: I also got sugarfree icecream and made him icecream sandwiches with these cookies.
